    A good source for searching out hard to find music and for getting classic cassette tapes.

    Waterloo Sunset Records is the kind of record store I actually enjoy spending time in because you…read morenever really know what you're going to find. I went in looking for an old-school R&B record that I had been wanting for a while and, sure enough, they had it. There's something much more satisfying about flipping through records and unexpectedly finding the one you've been looking for than just ordering it online. The selection is really good, especially if you like digging through both new and used vinyl. Everything is organized well enough that you can actually find what you're looking for, but there's still enough tucked away that it feels like a treasure hunt. They also carry CDs, posters, comics, and other music and pop-culture finds, so I usually end up looking around much longer than I planned. The staff knows music, which I appreciate. They're friendly and helpful if you need them, but you can also just take your time and browse without feeling like someone is hovering over you. Prices are also pretty reasonable, particularly for used vinyl. For me, finding that old-school R&B record sealed the deal. Great selection, good people, and the kind of record store where I can easily lose track of time. If I'm in the area it's somewhere I'd go back to when I'm hunting for another record.

    This place can't stay open. It's a great store but what's the point of being great if it can't stay…read moreopen. I would debate the greatest record store in Atlanta is between this place and WaxNFacts but it can't stay open so it can't even compete. 5 stars for the store , 1 star for not being able to stay open.

    I LOVE vinyl records and host several record store crawls all over Metro Atlanta and Chattanooga. I…read moreknow all of the good spots and Atlanta is RICH with quality if not ICONIC record stores. RetroSound Records is, hands down, one of the best record stores in Atlanta. Not because it's the biggest, but because of the staff and because I ALWAYS find something I love here. The owner Ken and his associate Josh are some of the best in the biz. Ken has turned me on to some fantastic records I may have never thought of and he reaches out when something comes in that he knows I'd like. We have similar taste in music (so...excellent taste in music) If he suggests it, I usually buy it. Josh is incredibly knowledgeable and gives the level of service that keeps me coming back. RetroSound Records has a great selection. Pro tip: Always start out with what's on the front counter. Never fails. Then hit the bins on the end of the front counter. Those sections never fail me. They have an EXCELLENT jazz section and right in the middle of the shop are many great records that are half price. THAT section never fails me either. It's my favorite. Ken has a great selection in general and he will spin anything you ask him to (unsealed of course). If you are into vinyl, always buy local! We need to keep shops like this open. Keep an eye out for their Mid Night Madness Events. You won't find Record Store Day here, and that's ok with me!! Mid Night Madness is much more fun!! Get to this shop, and ask for Ken and Josh. They are some of my favorite people in this business and you will be incredibly happy with what you find here.

    Gem of a store! I always find something and really enjoy chatting - I will definitely visit here…read moreagain. Stop by if you are in the area.
